Ballot measure wording won’t be changed
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied a request on Thursday by the AES power plant in Redondo Beach to reconsider a ruling that slightly modified the language in the city’s upcoming ballot measure. Judge David Yaffe refused to further alter the measure or reconsider his decision to rule against the plant in its argument that Measure UU would impose “double taxation” on residents. The measure will ask residents to change the city code to impose a tax on natural gas usage at AES, which is currently exempt as a utility.
